Review on 🚴 Endurance 3 Bibshort for Road and Gravel Biking by Castelli Cycling by Alex Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too small, especially if you are big

I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall and fair between M and L in the size table, so I chose L. It was too small. The shoulder straps roared painfully into my shoulders and my legs were so narrow that the blood circulation was interrupted and my legs were getting numb almost immediately. I have had many pairs of bibs from different manufacturers so I know what they should be like. They should be tight but not as painful as these. All other short bib brands I own are L or smaller. Size Chart. I'm not very athletic and I'd say my thighs are thinner, but they were just uncomfortably tight. I had pain in my groin and shoulders almost immediately. I would try a larger size, but I have the feeling that I will still not order a size that is big enough. I will try to find her on site instead so that I can try it before I buy or just get a completely different brand. However, the overall quality seemed good, especially the suede. It was tight in all the right places but not bulky. The shoulder straps are an old mesh style that twists when tightened and painfully digs in if too short. The stitching was even and strong and the style was comfortable. I just wish the size chart was more accurate and included the height. If you are small, the diagram will probably be exactly for you, but you can still order at least one size larger than you measure.

Pros
  • decent performance
Cons
  • I remember
